Abstract

1536450 Railway vehicle couplers AMSTED INDUSTRIES Inc 8 June 1976 [9 June 1975] 23676/76 Heading B7T The leading edge portion of the upper support shelf 28 of a pivoted knuckle type railway vehicle coupler includes a flat surface 38 inclined to the vertical direction. The provision of flat inclined surfaces 38 on couplers is said to reduce the possibility, during a coupling operation, of buffing contact between the leading edge portions of the upper support shelves of the couplers.
